If the dealership paid $28,450 for a car and they wanted to get 5% over their cost, how much would they need to sell the car for?

HI!!

OpenStudy (rolldextro):

That would be 28450*1.05=29872.5

OpenStudy (misty1212):

to increase a number by \(5\%\) multiply it by \(100\%+5\%=105\%=1.05\) so do \[28.450\times 1.05\]

Nice guys!

OpenStudy (misty1212):

yeah, what you said

OpenStudy (tylermckinney16):

29.8725?

OpenStudy (sammypenguin):

Yup, that's what you do to find a percentage! For any % add 100 and turn it into a decimal.

OpenStudy (rolldextro):

Yes
